Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Seasonal Recipes     Fall Recipes     Butternut Squash Recipes

Yield Makes about 2 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 pounds squash, such as butternut, orange Hokkaido, or buttercup, halved and seeded
Canola oil, for baking sheet

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash halves, skin side up, on an oiled rimmed baking sheet. Bake until fork-tender, about 1 1/4 hours. Remove from oven. Turn over; let stand until cool enough to handle.
  • Scoop the flesh into a food processor, and discard skin. Puree until smooth. Refrigerate squash puree in an airtight container up to 4 days or store in the freezer up to 1 month.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh buttercup squash. If you don't have fresh squash, you can use frozen or canned squash, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Be sure to roast the squash before using it in the bread. Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Buttercup squash tea bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for fall. The bread is moist and flavorful, with a slightly sweet taste.
